Update on tagged offshore and Southern resident (K-pod, K25) orcas:
The tagged offshore killer whale and K25, a southern resident killer whale tagged by
the Northwest Fisheries Science Center in December, passed each other probably
by less than 10 kilometers yesterday. This map shows the offshore killer whale transiting from offshore in the south to offshore in the north and K25 passing from north to south inshore. Although their tracklines overlap just south of
Cape Mendocino, California, a comparison of the timing of the tracks suggest
they were not in the exact same area at the same time. More information on the
offshore tagging at http://www.cascadiaresearch.org/SCORE-offshore-kw.htm
and on the tagging of K25 at http://www.nwfsc.noaa.gov/research/divisions/cbd/marine_mammal/satellite_tagging.cfm
